Makita Sander Shop Vac Adapter

thingiverse

This adapter will allow you to connect one of several Makita sanders to a Shopvac with a 1.25" hose using the connector section of the dust bag. Fits flawlessly, and gives a nice tight seal. I use it with a BO5041 5" random orbit sander, but their other orbital and random orbit sanders seem to use the same square dust bag, which is a requirement for this part. To use: Remove the bag from the sander bag connector, then insert this part in its place. The locking tab portion is an exact model of the original component, and will work as designed. (The designers were kind enough to use nice round numbers) I have about 10 hours of use on a print made out of PETG, but one out of flex filament might work better.
